UPPER STEAM RICE MILLS.
A very large area of the rice growing country
is tributary to Savannah, and the rice trade Is
therefore an important feature in the business
of the city. In order to prepare the product of
the plantation for market it Is necessary to have
il miiled, by which process the rough hull is re-
moved and the rice polished TO pearly white.
Its quality, and therefore its value, depends to
great extent on the hardness and size of the
grain and its wilderness, and to obtain these
results in the highest degree the skill of the
miller is directed. The Oldest and best known
mills in the South are the Upper Steam Rice
Mills in this city, sometimes called Understands
mills from the fact that they have been under
the management of that family for three genera
tons These mills have been put in thorough
order for this seasons business, and are pre-
pared to receive and pound rough rice, and
solicit the continuance OF the patronage of
planters, factors and others Mr.. r. b. Haber
sham, the manager, gives his personal atten-
ton to the business and it is not saying too
much when il is stated that under his manage
ment the reputation of the mills for good work
has, ii possible, been increased.
